No partner in a love relationship... should feel that he has to give up an essential part of himself to make it viable.

Every man sees in his relatives and especially in his cousins a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.

The good man is he who rules himself as he does his own property: his autonomous being is modelled on material power.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself to multiply the ways in which he exists to make his life full significant and interesting.

The power of man has grown in every sphere except over himself.

It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.

Vote: the instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country.

A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself.

It demonstrates to his simple mind in the most positive manner that we have no prejudice against him on account of his race and that while he behaves himself he will be treated the same as a white man.
